Manchester United made light work of Tottenham as Marc Skinner s side continued their perfect start to the 2024-25 campaign with a 3-0 win.

Skinner s team moved level on points with Chelsea at the top of the Women s Super League thanks to goals from Elisabeth Terland and Maya Le Tissier on Sunday.

Terland, a summer signing from Brighton, opened her account for United with a quickfire double at the end of the first half at Leigh Sports Village.

The Norway international drilled in after Celin Bizet hit the crossbar, and the latter subsequently teed up Terland s second five minutes later.

United captain Le Tissier settled the contest from the penalty spot following Ashleigh Neville s handball just before the hour mark.

A Nevada court has recommended a civil case alleging Cristiano Ronaldo committed a sexual assault should be dismissed.

It means the Portugal star is likely to receive confirmation in the near future that the case has been thrown out.

Ronaldo was accused by Kathryn Mayorga of assaulting her in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009, but the footballer has strenuously denied the allegation.

Now at Manchester United, whom he joined from Italian club Juventus in August, Ronaldo initially described the claims, first reported in 2018 by German publication Der Spiegel, as fake news via an Instagram video.

No criminal charges were brought, with the Clark County District Attorney s Office announcing in July 2019 that the allegations could not be proven beyond a reasonabl…

One title race ended in controversial fashion this past weekend, but the Premier League s charge to the top is only just clicking into gear.

Lewis Hamilton will not be the only one left feeling harshly penalised after events over the last few days, after eight spot-kicks were awarded across the latest round of top-flight fixtures.

Chelsea were a major benefactor, as their win over Leeds United saw them keep pace with title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.

Ralf Rangnick s Manchester United also scored from the spot in a win over Norwich City, while Conor Gallagher inspired Crystal Palace to a victory over Rafael Benitez s Everton.

Benitez s former club Newcastle United, meanwhile, suffered another damaging defeat in their quest to make it to the Janu…

Lyon are not required to sell players for €100million before the summer transfer window ends, the French club s owner John Textor said.

The club have endured a tough start to the season so far, failing to win either of their games without scoring a goal.

Their first home game of the season saw them lose 2-0 to Monaco, with Lyon only attempting one shot in that game, their lowest tally in a single Ligue 1 game since Opta began to collect this data (2006-07).

In their first match against Rennes, a 3-0 defeat, they registered 16 attempts, though only managed two on target compared to their opponents eight.

On Thursday, the French newspaper L Equipe reported that Lyon had put the majority of their squad on the transfer market to raise €75m to balance the…

Thomas Muller surpassed Gerd Muller as the outfield player with the most Bundesliga appearances for Bayern Munich after being named in the starting XI for the German champions meeting with Bochum.

Muller s 428th league outing for Bayern takes him beyond his legendary namesake s tally of 427, with just two goalkeepers now standing between him and the outright club record.

Three-time European Cup winner Sepp Maier leads the way with 473 Bundesliga appearances for Bayern, while former captain-turned-chief executive Oliver Kahn played 429 times.

Muller was selected to make his 13th league appearance of an injury-hit season against Bochum, though he has still recorded seven goal involvements this term (three goals, four assists).

The 33-year-old s 140 Bundesli…

Mauricio Pochettino spoke of his pride after watching Chelsea cling on with 10 men to earn a battling 3-2 win against Brighton at Stamford Bridge.

Captain Conor Gallagher was sent off late in the first half with the hosts leading 2-1, leaving them facing an uphill battle to hold off a fightback from Roberto De Zerbi’s side.

Chelsea had looked to be heading in at half-time two goals to the good, Enzo Fernandez and Levi Colwill each heading in their first Premier League goals three minutes apart to open up a commanding lead but Brighton halved the deficit through Facundo Buonanotte before Gallagher was shown a second yellow card.

The visitors’ fightback was curtailed midway through the second half when Mykhailo Mudryk, in for Cole Palmer who had picked up a kno…

Los Angeles FC head coach Steve Cherundolo is hoping to maintain their contagious winning feeling when they travel to the Q2 Stadium to take on Austin FC.

The Black and Gold are unbeaten in their previous six MLS fixtures after emerging 3–1 victors away at Orlando City last time out to keep them within striking distance of league leaders Real Salt Lake.

Cherundolo s team have the comfort of an extra game in hand over the surrounding sides, but the 45-year-old wants an improved performance after their display last week.

Winning is contagious, and winning is important, Cherundolo said. Winning away from home is a lot of fun.

It certainly wasn t one of our prettiest games, but we had solutions at times, but not all the time. We were hoping to manage o…

Arne Slot has seen new things from Joe Gomez in recent weeks and has praised the centre-back s work ethic amid suggestions he could leave Liverpool.

Gomez has been tipped to leave Anfield after falling behind Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konata and Jarell Quansah in the pecking order in the heart of defence.

He made 32 Premier League appearances throughout Jurgen Klopp s final season in charge in 2023-24, yet 15 of those came from the bench and he was often fielded at full-back when the Reds endured injury problems.

Gomez was left out by Slot as his reign began with a 2-0 win at Ipswich Town last week, having been linked with a move to Aston Villa or Newcastle United.

However, speaking ahead of Sunday s clash with Brentford, Slot hinted Gomez could be invol…
